Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump stirred up controversy when he said there should be some sort of punishment for women who have abortions. Heres a look back at how he evolved into his pro-life views. (Jenny Starrs/The Washington Post)

You can see the exact moment last week that Donald Trump made up his mind on whether women would face criminal punishment once he signed new restrictions into law. He is at a town hall with MSNBCs Chris Matthews, and, after Matthews badgers him for a while, he finally answers the question.

The answer is … that, Trump says, eyes looking to the side in thought, there has to be some form of punishment. He punctuates has with a hand gesture. Done. Final.

But as it turns out and as it has turned out repeatedly over the course of his life that was not, in fact, Trumps final position on the subject. This past week alone, he has held multiple contradicting positions, including that one. So we figured that a timeline was in order, so that you could see the date and time and know, concretely, what Trumps abortion position was at that moment.

Trump co-sponsored a dinner at the Plaza Hotel in Manhattan (which he then owned) honoring Robin Chandler Duke, a former president of NARAL. He chose not to attend, theNew York Times reported, after his family was threatened by anti-abortion activists.

Ten years later, Trump appeared on NBC in an interview with Tim Russert. In a clip that has received newfound life during this election cycle, Trump defends his broadly liberal positions by explaining that he grew up in Manhattan, not Iowa.

Im very pro-choice, Trump says. I hate the concept of abortion. I hate it. I hate everything it stands for. I cringe when I listen to people debating the subject. But you still I just believe in choice.

Russert clarifies his original point: Would you ban partial-birth abortion? No, Trump replies.

At some point between 1999 and 2011, Trumps position on abortion changed. He explained the reason for his switchduringthe first debate of 2015.

[W]hat happened is friends of mine years ago were going to have a child, and it was going to be aborted. And it wasnt aborted. And that child today is a total superstar, a great, great child. And I saw that. And I saw other instances.

In 2011, as he was toying with running, hetold activistsat the Conservative Political Action Conference that, among other conservative positions, I am pro-life [and] against gun control.

Shortly after announcing his candidacy, Trumpappeared on CNNin an interview with Jake Tapper. He got a little tripped up.

TAPPER: Let me ask you about a few social issues because they havent been issues you have been talking about for several years. I know youre opposed to abortion.

TAPPER: Youre pro-choice or pro-life?

The interview with Matthews is taped, and Trump asserts that women who receive abortions once the procedure is illegal will face punishment. The men are involved will not, he adds.

Before the MSNBC town hall even airs, a spokesperson for Trump releases a statement changing what he told Matthews.

[email protected] on abortion: says it should be put back to the states and hes pro life, like /rPaTXxTnd3

About an hour later, Trumps campaignreleasesa more formal statement regarding abortion. Its different than what he said to Matthews and his initial statement.

If Congress were to pass legislation making abortion illegal and the federal courts upheld this legislation, or any state were permitted to ban abortion under state and federal law, the statement says, the doctor or any other person performing this illegal act upon a woman would be held legally responsible, not the woman. (Its worth noting that this is in line with the pro-life movements position.)

The statement includes a snippet written in the first person: My position has not changed like Ronald Reagan, I am pro-life with exceptions.

CBS releases an excerpt of its interview with Trump that aired Sunday morning.Asked againabout abortion, Trumps position seems to change yet again.

The laws are set now on abortion and thats the way theyre going to remain until theyre changed, he said, according to CBSs transcript. I wouldve preferred states rights. I think it wouldve been better if it were up to the states. But right now, the laws are set…. At this moment, the laws are set. And I think we have to leave it that way.

Understandably, this is not well-received. The pro-life group Susan B. Anthony Listrepliesthat he had disqualified himself as the GOP nominee if this were his position.

Trump also offered a reason for his initial comments to Matthews: Ive been told by some people that was an older line answer and that was an answer that was given on a, you know, basis of an older line from years ago on a very conservative basis.

Again before the program airs, the Trump campaignre-frameswhat the candidate said.

Mr. Trump gave an accurate account of the law as it is today and made clear it must stay that way now until he is president, it read. Then he will change the law through his judicial appointments and allow the states to protect the unborn. There is nothing new or different here.

Should Mr. Trumps position on abortion not be anything new or different again in the future, this article will be updated.

The past two days have beentheyve been emotional. But I think more so than anything its been like a cinder block has been lifted off my shoulders.

On Monday, less than 24 hours after police announced the arrests of three young men in connection to the case of Elijah Moore and Enrique Rios, two Yolo County teens who went missing in 2016, ABC10 sat with Elijahs mother, Alicia, to get her reaction to the news.

The past two days have beentheyve been emotional, Moore said. But I think more so than anything, its been like a cinder block has been lifted off my shoulders..

During our conversation, Moore said shed given up hope ever seeing her son again in November 2016, when he went missing.That notion was only reaffirmed by the arrests of 18-year-old Jesus Campos; 21-year-old Chandale Shannon; 21-year-old Jonathan Froste; and David Ashley Froste, 27, of Knights Landing.

Froste and Shannon were charged Monday with two counts of first degree murder with firearm enhancements. Campos, a minor at the time of the boys disappearance, is facing the same charges in juvenile court. Another man David Ashley Froste, 27, of Knights Landing, California, already is in state prison, said Yolo County Sheriffs spokesman Sgt. Matthew Davis. Corrections officials said he began serving a 3-year sentence last month for manufacturing drugs and injuring someone.

I hope that they can, at some point in their lives before their last breath is taken that they can come to terms with what they did, repent, and see the face of God, Moore said. As for me, Im trying to learn how to forgive them, and walk in love, but Im not there yet.

Both Shannon and Frost were arraigned Monday in Yolo County Superior court. During a press conference Monday morning, police wouldnt say if the bodys of Elijah Moore and Enrique Rios had been found.

I need to know what happened to him, Moore said. As scary as that is, because I know that they did something heinous to my baby. I know this. I know it. Something, really, really wicked, I know they did. I just dont know what. And as a parent, you never, ever think that youll have to go through this. And this is something Id never wish on anyone. I would never wish this on anyone. So many times I thought I was going to lose my mind, but I had to be strong for my other children, and so that I could continue to stand up for Elijah.

The24-hour clockis the convention of time keeping in which thedayruns from midnight to midnight and is divided into 24hours, indicated by the hours passed since midnight, from 0 to 23. This system is the most commonly used time notation in the world today,[1]and is used by international standardISO 8601.[2]

A limited number of countries, particularly English-speaking nations, use the12-hour clockas a standard, or a mixture of the 24- and 12-hour time systems. In countries where the 12-hour clock is still dominant, some professions prefer to use the 24-hour clock. For example, in the practice ofmedicinethe 24-hour clock is generally used in documentation of care as it prevents any ambiguity as to when events occurred in a patientsmedical history.[3]In the United States and a handful of other countries, it is popularly referred to asmilitary time.[1][4]

A Russian 24 hour watch for polar expeditions from 1969, made by Soviet watchmakerRaketa. Polar nights or days make it necessary to use a 24-hour scale instead of 12.

A time of day is written in the 24-hour notation in the form hh:mm (for example 01:23) or hh:mm:ss (for example, 01:23:45), where hh (00 to 23) is the number of full hours that have passed sincemidnight, mm (00 to 59) is the number of full minutes that have passed since the last full hour, and ss (00 to 59) is the number of seconds since the last full minute. In the case of aleap second, the value of ss may extend to 60. A leading zero is added for numbers under 10, but it is optional for the hours. The leading zero is very commonly used in computer applications, and always used when a specifications require it (for example,ISO 8601).

Where subsecond resolution is required, the seconds can be adecimal fraction; that is, the fractional part follows a decimal dot or comma, as in 01:23:45.678. The most commonly used separator symbol between hours, minutes and seconds is thecolon, which is also the symbol used in ISO 8601. In the past, some European countries used thedot on the lineas a separator, but most national standards on time notation have since then been changed to the international standard colon. In some contexts (including the U.S. military and some computer protocols), no separator is used and times are written as, for example, 2359.

InEast Asia, time notation was 24-hour before westernization in modern times. Western-made clocks were changed into 12 dual-hours style when they were shipped toChinain theQing dynasty.

In the 24-hour time notation, the day begins at midnight, 00:00, and the last minute of the day begins at 23:59. Where convenient, the notation 24:00 may also be used to refer to midnight at the end of a given date[5] that is, 24:00 of one day is the same time as 00:00 of the following day.

The notation 24:00 mainly serves to refer to the exact end of a day in a time interval. A typical usage is giving opening hours ending at midnight (e.g. 00:0024:00, 07:0024:00). Similarly, some railway timetables show 00:00 as departure time and 24:00 as arrival time. Legal contracts often run from the start date at 00:00 until the end date at 24:00.

While the 24-hour notation unambiguously distinguishes between midnight at the start (00:00) and end (24:00) of any given date, there is no commonly accepted distinction among users of the 12-hour notation.Style guidesand military communication regulations in some English-speaking countries discourage the use of 24:00 even in the 24-hour notation, and recommend reporting times near midnight as 23:59 or 00:01 instead.[6]Sometimes the use of 00:00 is also avoided.[6]In variance with this, the correspondence manual for the U.S. Navy and U.S. Marine Corps formerly specified 0001 to 2400.[7]The manual was updated in June 2015 to use 0000 to 2359.[8]

Time-of-day notations beyond 24:00 (such as 24:01 or 25:00 instead of 00:01 or 01:00) are not commonly used and not covered by the relevant standards. However, they have been used occasionally in some special contexts in the UK, Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong and China where business hours extend beyond midnight, such as broadcast television production and scheduling.

In most countries, computers by default show the time in 24-hour notation. For example,Microsoft WindowsandmacOSactivate the 12-hour notation by default only if a computer is in a handful ofspecific language and region settings. The 24-hour system is commonly used in text-based interfaces. Programs such aslsdefault to displaying timestamps in 24 hour format.

In American and Canadian English, the termmilitary timeis a synonym for the 24-hour clock.[9]In these dialects, the time of day is customarily given almost exclusively using the 12-hour clock notation, which counts the hours of the day as 12, 1, …, 11 with suffixesa.m.andp.m.distinguishing the twodiurnalrepetitions of this sequence. The 24-hour clock is commonly used there only in some specialist areas (military, aviation, navigation, tourism, meteorology, astronomy, computing, logistics, emergency services, hospitals), where theambiguities of the 12-hour notationare deemed too inconvenient, cumbersome, or dangerous.

Military usage, as agreed between the United States and allied English-speaking military forces,[10]differs in some respects from other twenty-four-hour time systems:

No hours/minutes separator is used when writing the time, and a letter designating the time zone is appended (for example 0340Z).

Leading zerosare always written out and are required to be spoken, so 5:43a.m. is spoken zero five forty-three (casually) or zero five four three (military radio), as opposed to five forty-three or five four three.

Military time zonesare lettered and thus given word designations via theNATO phonetic alphabet. For example, Eastern Standard Time(UTC−5) would be written 0600R and spoken zero six hundred Romeo.

Local time is designated as zone J orJuliett. 1200J (twelve hundred Juliett) is noon local time.

Hours are always hundred, never thousand; 1000 is ten hundred not one thousand; 2000 is twenty hundred not two thousand.

The 24 hour tower clock inVenicethat lists hours 1 to 12 twice

The 24-hour time system has its origins in the Egyptian astronomical system ofdecans, and has been used for centuries by scientists, astronomers, navigators, andhorologists. There are many surviving examples of clocks built using the 24-hour system, including the famousOrlojinPrague, and theShepherd Gate ClockatGreenwich.[citation needed]

The first mechanical public clocks introduced in Italy weremechanical 24-hour clockswhich counted the 24 hours of the day from one half hour after sundown to the evening of the following day. The 24th hour was the last hour of day time.[11]However, striking clocks had to produce 300 strokes each day which required a lot of rope, and wore out the mechanism quickly, so some localities switched to ringing sequences of 1 to 12 twice (156 strokes), or even 1 to 6 repeated 4 times (84 strokes).[11]

This universal day is to be a mean solar day; is to begin for all the world at the moment of midnight of the initial meridian coinciding with the beginning of the civil day and date of that meridian, and is to be counted from zero up to twenty-four hours.

This resolution was adopted by the conference.[12]

According to a report in the LondonTimesin 1886, the 24-hour clock was in use on theCanadian Pacific Railwaytrain at Port Arthur.[13]

A report by a government committee in the United Kingdom noted Italy as the first country among those mentioned to adopt 24-hour time nationally, in 1893.[14]Other European countries followed: France adopted it in 1912 (the French army in 1909), followed by Denmark (1916), and Greece (1917). By 1920, Spain, Portugal, Belgium, and Switzerland had switched, followed by Turkey (1925), and Germany (1927). By the early 1920s, many countries in Latin America had also adopted the 24-hour clock.[citation needed]Some of the railways in India had switched before the outbreak of the war.[14]

DuringWorld War I, the British Royal Navy adopted the 24-hour clock in 1915, and the Allied armed forces followed soon after,[14]with the British Army switching officially in 1918.[15]The Canadian armed forces first started to use the 24-hour clock in late 1917.[16]In 1920, theUS Navywas the first US organization to adopt the system; theUS Army, however, did not officially adopt the 24-hour clock untilWorld War II, on July 1, 1942.[17]

In Britain, the use of the 24-hour clock in daily life has grown steadily since the beginning of the 20th century, although attempts to make the system official failed more than once.[18]In 1934, theBBCswitched to the 24-hour clock for broadcast announcements and programme listings. The experiment was halted after five months following a lack of enthusiasm from the public, and the BBC continued using the 12-hour clock.[18]In the same year, the US airlinesPan American World Airways CorporationandWestern Airlinesboth adopted the 24-hour clock.[19]In modern times, the BBC uses a mixture of both the 12-hour and the 24-hour clock.[18]

British RailandLondon Transportswitched to the 24-hour clock for timetables in 1964.[18]
